Calrose rice is a medium-grain variety that has played a foundational role in the development of California's rice industry. Introduced in 1948 by the California Cooperative Rice Research Foundation at the Rice Experiment Station in Biggs, California, Calrose was bred from the 'Caloro' and 'Calady' varieties. Its name combines "Cal" for California and "rose," following a naming tradition that includes "Blue Rose," an earlier medium-grain rice developed in Louisiana .
Characteristics and Culinary Uses

Its mild flavor allows it to absorb bold ingredients easily, enhancing the taste of the dishes it accompanies .
Cultivation and Global Presence
Today, Calrose accounts for approximately 80% of California's rice production . Its adaptability has led to cultivation in other regions with suitable climates, such as Australia and parts of the Mediterranean . While not as popular in Japan, Calrose has been used to prepare Japanese cuisine in North America and is considered reasonably good for sushi .
Nutritional Profile

Cooking Tips
To achieve the best texture, rinse Calrose rice until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. For a plumper texture, soak the rice for 15 to 30 minutes before cooking.
